laser_vision Hope you get the job. Sounds tough. As for me, I did laundry, moved garbage cans, slept, did some sewing, and sawed some wood. I probably should fill out more job applications myself.

The Journey…

Aanshi Raghava @Aansh13 (11362) • New Delhi, India 11 Jul 23

“Roads were made for journeys and not destination.” That's what I always tell myself when I hop on my bike and hit the road. I love the feeling of freedom, adventure and discovery that comes with riding on different roads. I...

laser_vision I love exploring the world via bike and taking things slowly. Unfortunately people expect me to be places fast, so I have to drive my car to destinations and be at them on time.

Raj @Butterfingers (66583) • India 11 Jul 23

It's not a good thing but I have observed that many users prefer to have the same password for their different social networking websites and even for their other websites that include earning websites etc. It's a risky thing...

No celebration, but a delicious dinner

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41394) • United States 4 Jul 23

Dale and I cooked a fish stew (not sure what kind, but not catfish) and it was so good. I fried corn bread to go with it and I think, I hope we have enough left for dinner tomorrow. Not sure what time we'll get home tomorrow...

laser_vision Unfortunately I am allergic to fish, so no stew for me. Glad you enjoyed it though. I pray that your surgery goes well, and sorry you have to go through that. Surgeries and kidney stones are both no fun. Ouch.

Turmeric

Always smiling @allknowing (136150) • India 6 Jul 23

There is a process to prepare powder from turmeric rhizomes. Once a year the plants are pulled out - they will be mostly dead by then. They are then washed and boiled, cut into tiny pieces and dried in the sun for a few...

laser_vision Turmeric has numerous health benefits and effects. It prevents cancer and can contribute to infertility at a high enough dosage. I have tried it on yellow squash before with pepper, and the combination made my stomach a little sick. It is not for me right...

Would you work for a year for 14 dollars?

Diana @dya80dya (36636) 1 Jul 23

There are some sites where you play games and you earn $14 per year. I wonder if it's worth it. Some people spent three years with such sites. They were disappointed. I know that every cent is important, but it's too much time...
